Which airport transport should you choose?
The best option depends on your arrival time, budget, group size and where your accommodation is located.
Holiday Shuttle / CanaryShuttle
The official Aena website for Gran Canaria Airport lists CanaryShuttle among the travel agencies present at the airport. This is the airport-listed option that most closely matches a shared holiday-coach or resort shuttle rather than a normal public bus.

Aena does not publish a fixed resort timetable or fares for this shuttle on its airport page, so this guide does not invent times or prices.

How to arrange your arrival
Choose your transport before you fly
Decide whether convenience, price or flexibility matters most. Taxi is easiest, bus is cheapest, and car hire gives the most freedom.
Keep your hotel address ready
Save the full hotel, bungalow or apartment address on your phone. This is useful for both taxi drivers and checking the correct bus stop.
Check your arrival time
If you land late in the evening, check the last suitable bus before relying on public transport. A taxi may be easier for late arrivals.
Allow extra time for your return
Traffic, luggage and airport security can add time. Leave your accommodation with a comfortable margin for your flight home.
